Definitions
- the invention relates to a rotor for a rotary tablet press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the typical rotor for a rotary press has a die plate and a lower and an upper punch guide for lower and upper punches, which cooperate with holes in the die plate.
- the rotor is driven by a suitable drive motor about a vertical axis, and the powdery material filled into the die bores by a filling device is compressed by the press dies.
- the pressing is done in at least one printing station, which has an upper and a lower pressure roller, which cooperate with the heads of the ram.
- the ram are guided by suitable punch curves, including ejection of the compacts by the lower punch with the aid of appropriate cams.
- Such rotors are out US 5,004,413 .
- the invention has for its object to reduce the unfavorable interaction between the pressure roller and the punch head and to increase the same pressure holding time space for the number of pressing stations on the pitch circle, without increasing the equipment cost of a press rotor.
- the punches are secured against rotation, ie they are guided exclusively axially in the guide bores.
- an axial guidance is known per se.
- the punch heads have flats on opposite sides, which are directed towards the adjacent punch heads.
- the rotational position of the stamp which is determined by the exclusive axial guidance, thus allows the alignment of the flats on the punch heads to the adjacent punch heads out.
- the advantage is achieved that the stamp can be closer together on a pitch circle and thus have a smaller distance from each other. It is therefore possible to arrange more pairs of punches on a pitch circle diameter. This is advantageous in terms of production output, since a larger number of compacts can be produced with the same rotor at the same speed than conventional rotors.
- the punch shafts have a keyway and the guide holes contain a feather key or vice versa.
- the shanks of the ram have a non-circular profile in cross section and the cross section of the guide holes is complementary.
- a rotor 10 of which in Fig. 1 only a section is shown, has an upper punch guide 12 and a lower punch guide 14 and a die plate 16 between the upper and lower punch guide 12, 14.
- all parts are a one-piece unit. It goes without saying that it can also be multi-part.
- the die plate may consist of individual segments.
- the upper punch guide 12 has receiving bores 18, and the lower punch guide 14 has receiving bores 20.
- the punch guides 12, 14 lead in pairs upper punch 22 and lower punch 24, which cooperate with die holes 26 of the die plate 16 to compress powdered material in the die holes 26.
- FIG. 3 Upper and lower punches 22, 24 and guide bushings 28, 30 are shown.
- the pressing dies 22, 24 have a head 32, a shank 34 and a tool section 36. Only the tool portion 36 cooperates with the die bore 26 (hereinafter, only the upper punch 22 is treated, the lower punch 24 in the same way).
- the head 32 is substantially standardized in its top. He works in the Figures 1 and 2 Not shown pressure rollers together, which press the upper punch 22 into the die bore 26 against the press material.
- the shaft 34 is of non-circular cross-section.
- FIG. 4 Cross-sectional shapes are shown by way of example. They show a triangular, a square and a three-section circular cross-section, the transitions are rounded.
- the guide bushings 28, 30, which may consist of ceramic material and are glued into the receiving bores 18 and 20 respectively, have a cross-section of the shafts 34 complementary cross-section. The described cross sections therefore determine the rotational position of the punches 22, 24 in the punch guide 12 and 14, respectively.
- Each punch 22, 24 or each guide bush 28 and 30 is associated with an upper sealing ring 38 and a lower sealing ring 40.
- Fig. 6 At 60, the circumference of a pressure roller is indicated, under which the punch heads 32 are moved along, so that the punches 22 are pressed down into the die holes 26. As is particularly clear from this, the transition of the pressure roller circumference from one punch top to the next is almost uniform, so that only small impacts are generated, which lead to vibrations of the rotor.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Rotor für eine Rundlauf-Tablettenpresse nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a rotor for a rotary tablet press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Der typische Rotor für eine Rundlaufpresse weist eine Matrizenscheibe sowie eine untere und eine obere Stempelführung für Unter- und Oberstempel auf, welche mit Bohrungen in der Matrizenscheibe zusammenwirken. Der Rotor wird von einem geeigneten Antriebsmotor um eine vertikale Achse angetrieben, und das von einer Fülleinrichtung in die Matrizenbohrungen eingefüllte pulverförmige Material wird von den Pressstempeln zusammengepresst. Das Verpressen geschieht in mindestens einer Druckstation, die eine obere und eine untere Druckrolle aufweist, die mit den Köpfen der Pressstempel zusammenwirken. In den übrigen Drehphasen werden die Pressstempel von geeigneten Stempelkurven geführt, unter anderem zum Ausstoßen der Presslinge durch die Unterstempel mit Hilfe entsprechender Steuerkurven. Derartige Rotoren sind aus
Der Abstand der Pressstempel untereinander, die auf einem Teilkreis im Rotor paarweise angeordnet sind, wird im Wesentlichen von dem Durchmesser der Stempelköpfe bestimmt. Die Oberseite der Pressstempelköpfe, mit der die Druckrollen zusammenwirken, ist im Wesentlichen standardisiert. Zwischen den Eingriffslinien auf den Stempelköpfen besteht ein nicht unerheblicher Abstand, der zur Folge hat, dass ein ungleichmäßiger Übergang der Druckrolle von einem zum nächsten Stempel stattfindet. Dadurch entwickelt sich eine erhebliche Geräuschemission. Außerdem wird dadurch der Verschleiß an Stempel und Druckrolle verursacht.The distance of the press ram from each other, which are arranged in pairs on a pitch circle in the rotor, is essentially determined by the diameter of the punch heads. The top of the press die heads, with which the pressure rollers cooperate, is essentially standardized. There is a considerable distance between the lines of engagement on the punch heads, which has the consequence that an uneven transition of the Pressure roller takes place from one to the next stamp. This results in a considerable noise emission. In addition, this causes wear on the punch and pressure roller.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die ungünstige Wechselwirkung zwischen Druckrolle und Stempelkopf zu verringern und bei gleicher Druckhaltezeit Platz für die Anzahl von Pressstationen auf dem Teilkreis zu erhöhen, ohne den apparativen Aufwand für einen Pressenrotor zu erhöhen.The invention has for its object to reduce the unfavorable interaction between the pressure roller and the punch head and to increase the same pressure holding time space for the number of pressing stations on the pitch circle, without increasing the equipment cost of a press rotor.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of patent claim 1.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Rotor sind die Stempel gegen Drehung gesichert, d.h. sie werden ausschließlich axial in den Führungsbohrungen geführt. Eine axiale Führung ist jedoch an sich bekannt. Erfindungswesentlich ist jedoch, dass die Stempelköpfe auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten Abflachungen aufweisen, die zu den benachbarten Stempelköpfen hin gerichtet sind. Die Drehlage der Stempel, welche durch die ausschließliche Axialführung vorgegeben ist, ermöglicht mithin die Ausrichtung der Abflachungen an den Stempelköpfen zu den benachbarten Stempelköpfen hin.In the case of the rotor according to the invention, the punches are secured against rotation, ie they are guided exclusively axially in the guide bores. However, an axial guidance is known per se. However, it is essential to the invention that the punch heads have flats on opposite sides, which are directed towards the adjacent punch heads. The rotational position of the stamp, which is determined by the exclusive axial guidance, thus allows the alignment of the flats on the punch heads to the adjacent punch heads out.
Mit der Erfindung wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass die Stempel auf einem Teilkreis enger zusammenliegen können und mithin einen geringeren Abstand voneinander aufweisen. Es ist daher möglich, mehr Stempelpaare auf einem Teilkreisdurchmesser anzuordnen. Dies ist im Hinblick auf den Produktionsausstoß von Vorteil, da mit dem gleichen Rotor bei gleicher Drehzahl eine größere Anzahl von Presslingen erzeugt werden kann als bei konventionellen Rotoren.With the invention, the advantage is achieved that the stamp can be closer together on a pitch circle and thus have a smaller distance from each other. It is therefore possible to arrange more pairs of punches on a pitch circle diameter. This is advantageous in terms of production output, since a larger number of compacts can be produced with the same rotor at the same speed than conventional rotors.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die günstigere Wechselwirkung zwischen Druckrolle und Stempelkopf durch den vergleichmäßigten Übergang der Druckrolle von einem Stempelkopf zum nächsten. Dadurch wird die Geräuschemission durch die geringeren Kraftschwankungen der Druckrolle kleiner. Ferner vermindert dies die Schwingungen der Rundlaufpresse. Schließlich wird auch der Verschleiß an den Stempeln und den Druckrollen reduziert.Particularly advantageous is the favorable interaction between the pressure roller and the stamp head by the uniform transition of the pressure roller from one stamp head to the next. As a result, the noise emission is reduced by the lower force fluctuations of the pressure roller. Furthermore, this reduces the vibrations of the rotary press. Finally, the wear on the punches and the pressure rollers is reduced.
Es sind verschiedene Möglichkeiten denkbar, einen Stempel axial in den Führungsbohrungen des Rotors zu führen und gegen Verdrehen zu sichern. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, dass die Stempelschäfte eine Passfedernut aufweisen und die Führungsbohrungen eine Passfeder enthalten bzw. umgekehrt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Schäfte der Pressstempel im Querschnitt ein unrundes Profil aufweisen und der Querschnitt der Führungsbohrungen komplementär ist. Dadurch wird nicht nur eine Orientierung in Umfangsrichtung erhalten mit der gewünschten Lage der Abflachungen, sondern derartige Stempelschäfte lassen sich auch mit Hilfe geeigneter Dichtringe besser abdichten.There are various possibilities conceivable to guide a punch axially in the guide holes of the rotor and secure against rotation. This can for example be done by the punch shafts have a keyway and the guide holes contain a feather key or vice versa. It is particularly advantageous if according to an embodiment of the invention, the shanks of the ram have a non-circular profile in cross section and the cross section of the guide holes is complementary. As a result, not only is an orientation in the circumferential direction obtained with the desired position of the flats, but such punch shafts can be better sealed with the help of suitable sealing rings.
